Description
- The present invention relates to a flow meter according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Such a flow meter is known from EP-A-83144. This known flow meter is used for measuring mass flow by means of an oscillating conduit. This oscillating movement of the conduit is sensitive to disturbing forces from the environment.
- An object of the present invention is providing a relatively accurate flow meter, by means of which measurements can be made independent if the specific gravity of the flowing fluid, and which can be used in a vibrational environment.
- In known fuel meters at ships conventionally there is measured the fuel volume flowing through the meter. Because of the specific mass of the used fuels often not being known accurately, it is not possible to determine accurately the mass flow and thus the energy consumption of a ship diesel engine with such a fuel meter.
- The flow meter according to claim 1 is suited for accurately measuring fuel consumed by a ship, substantially independent of the specific mass of the fuel.
- From US-A-4,109,524 and EP-A-83144 there are known mass flow meters These mass flow meters use an oscillation generator for generating torque by means of coriolis force in a loop-shaped or curved conduit in the resonance area of about 70 Hz, being common for the loop-shaped or curved conduit and a carrier of the oscillating generator. By picking up a parameter, e.g. the position or velocity of the loop-shaped or curved conduit, of the oscillation the mass flow is determined. Such a mass flow meter is not suited for an oscillating ship, the oscillations disturbing said oscillations generated in said loop-shaped or curved conduit. From many measurements it has appeared that if said mass flow meter is exposed to disturbing oscillations in a frequency area above 14 Hz, the relative error in measurement values is in the order of magnitude of 25%. So, the known mass flow meters are unemployable on a ship as ship fuel meter.
- It is noted that as such spring means, for mounting of a housing, are known from DE-C-175,697.
- Further, the present invention relates to a fuel supply system, in which a fuel flow meter according to the invention is retained.
- Further advantages details and charateristics of the invention will be described with reference to a drawing in which are:
- Figure 1 a longitudinal section partly broken away of a fuel flow meter according to the invention;
- Figure 2 a cross section partly broken away according to the line II-II offigsording to the line II-II of figure 1; and
- Figure 3 a diagram of a fuel supply system according to the invention.
- A preferred embodiment of a fuel flow meter 1 (figures 1 and 2) according to the invention has an
input terminal 4 and anoutput terminal 7 each welded to covers 5 and 8 respectively of ahousing 2, said covers being fixed with bolts 6. In thehousing 2 there is arranged ameasuring unit 9 oscillatingly insulated relative to a frame 3 carried by thehousing 2, by means ofrubber elements 10. A loop-shaped or curved conduit formed by aU-shaped tube 15 of themeasuring unit 9 is coupled to theinput terminal 4 and theoutput terminal 7 respectively throughhoses hose clips 13. In the lower part of thecover 5 there is provided atap 14, so that there could be checked for possible leakage fluid without the danger of fuel passing into the engine room. - In Figure 1 there is shown diagrammatically the construction of the
measuring unit 9. The mass flow to be measured flows through aU-shaped tube 15. On a U-shaped carrier 16 there is provided anoscillating generator 21 to generate oscillations of theU-shaped tube 15 relative to an axis M being perpendicular on aninput leg 19 and an output leg 20 of said U-shaped tube. The integral of the U-shapedtube 15 and carrier 16 applied to a supportingpart 17 has a resonance frequency of about 70 Hz and is brought into oscillation with 70 Hz by the oscillatinggenerator 21. Because the carrier 16 andtube 15 are jogged with the same force in opposite directions, said supportingpart 17 is not moved by the oscillatinggenerator 21. If the U-shapedtube 15 is brought into oscillation by theoscillating generator 21 and there is passed a mass flow through the U-shapedtube 15, there will develop a torsion across across part 18 of theU-shaped tube 15 about an axis N extending perpendicularly in the centre of thecross part 18, because at theend 45 of theinput leg 19 of theU-shaped tube 15 and the carrier 16 there will develop a force opposite to the force at the end 46 of the output leg 20 of the U-shapedtube 15, said forces and so the torsion across thecross part 18 of the U-shapedtube 15 changing their direction in the rhythm of the oscillation generated by the oscillatinggenerator 21. Bymeans 22 for picking up positions, e.g. magnetically, the position of theends 45,46 of theinput leg 19 and the output leg 20 respectively is determined, thus the torsion across thecross part 18 being proportional to the phase difference between the signals of the two position picking up means 22 and therewith the value of the mass flow flowing through thetube 15. Thehousing 2 is provided with anelectrical terminal 23 supplying power to the oscillatinggenerator 21 and said position picking up means 22 and supplying signals of the position picking up means 22 to an auxiliary apparatus 47 to determine and read out the mass flow flowing through the U-shapedtube 15. - It is noted that another parameter of the oscillation, e.g. the velocity of any part of the
cross part 18 can be measured by some picking up means. - Said fuel flow meter 1 can be manufactured accurately, the measuring accuracy being maintained, when the fuel flow meter 1 is being exposed to disturbing oscillations occurring on for instance a ship, because of the
measuring unit 9 being arranged insulated from ship oscillations relative to ahousing 2 and thus of the ship itself. Further the fuel is not troubled by solid particles being in the fuel, as the case may be, or by high temperatures, if present. It is noted, that there is no trouble from changes in volume of the fuel caused by changes in temperature, because of the fuel flow meter 1 just measuring mass flow. - According to figure 2 the
hoses housing 2 as well, such that there is enough curving of these hoses. - It is noted, that instead of one
tube 15 in combination with a carrier 16 there could be other constructions as well, for instance two U-shaped conduits both passed with fluid and oscillated relative to each other. - A preferred embodiment of the
fuel supply system 24 according to the invention (figure 3) is constituted by twofuel tanks tanks pump 31 safeguarded by apressure controller 32 and connected to the fuel flow meter 1, throughvalves way connection 29 and a valve 30. Apressure controller 33 on the output side of the fuel flow meter 1 is coupled to amix chamber 35 through avalve 34. Themix chamber 35 is coupled to theengine 38 through abooster pump 36 and aninjection pump 37. The fuel coming from the fuel flow meter 1 is mixed with fuel returning from theengine 38 in themix chamber 35, said returning fuel in certain cases being a high percentage of the supplied fuel. Themix chamber 35 is being kept at constant pressure by thepressure controller 33. Because of themix chamber 35 receiving said returning fuel and staying at constant level, it is sufficient to use one fuel flow meter 1. - Further the
fuel supply system 24 is provided with a bypass 40 for the fuel flow meter 1, avalve 41 of which is opened when a defect occurs at the fuel flow meter 1. Said bypass 40 can also be used in a direction opposite to arrow 42 for testing the fuel flow meter 1. - The
mix chamber 35 is provided with an overflow conduct 43 provided with adegasser 44 and returning fuel to thetank 25 in case of erroneously overflowing of themix chamber 35. - In dependency of the routing plan the
engine 38 is fed with heavy or less heavy fuel oil. With the aid of thefuel supply system 24 and the fuel flow meter 1 it is possible to accurately determine the fuel mass consumed by theengine 38 and therewith the energy consumed, it being possible with said information together with accurate propulsion yield information to choose an optimum ship velocity in dependency of the weather conditions, the roughness of the sea, the propulsion yield and velocity requirements for supplying transported goods.
